Description

Annotate and present easily and quickly with TouchCast Studio. Create Smart Video by adding webpages, files, images, videos... nearly anything! Then record or live stream* and share across the web. Elements in Smart Videos are interactive for viewers.

At the core of TouchCast are Smart Videos. What makes video smart? Tools to create and stream video that are blissfully simple to use. The means for any file to be shared inside video. Interactive elements that make them more engaging. The ability to collaborate with your team anywhere in the world. The fact you make a big impression. Immediately.

Communicate confidently: TouchCast Studio lets you easily add visuals to your video, mark them up with the whiteboard and explain things with ease like never before. Diagram with the whiteboard. Use the Green Screen or Multi-camera switcher to add polish to your presentation.

When viewers watch, they can interact with the stuff in the video -- like explore the webpage or download the file or vote in the poll. A touchcast is a video that is fully browsable, responsive, and alive. Users with a TouchCast Partner ID can even stream their video live!

TouchCast Studio is also TV studio in your hands. Create broadcast-quality videos with a built-in teleprompter, green screen, visual filters, sound effects, and titles. Watch TouchCasts from any of the apps or online at TouchCast.com or embed your video on your own webpage.

*some features only available to users with a TouchCast Partner ID. Learn more at touchcast.com

Please let us know you're feedback as we strive to improve the experience, including what features you would like to see in future versions.

What's New

Version History

1.20

Feb 11, 2018

The first of two HUGE updates: TouchCast Studio now runs on our Fusion Engine, meaning the most powerful video app on the iPad just raised the bar again... smoother, faster performance coupled with the Metal graphics engine provided by Apple (this does mean to update your Studio app you'll need an iPad that support Metal).

We're laying down the tracks for Studio v2.0 coming this Spring! Stay tuned for some great news soon ;)

1.19.6

Feb 11, 2018

Small update with improvements to live streaming (feature for TouchCast Partners).

1.19.4

New For TouchCast Partners:• Easily schedule an event and invite your live stream audience with the Webinar theme. • Received a .TCT video file? Now you can open and play them with Studio.

There are dozens of small improvements... like displaying thumbnails of saved boards (drawings). Plus several bug fixes and optimizations.

Here are previous notes from other v1.19 releases:

v1.19.3 offers technical improvements to TouchCast live streaming and a few bug fixes.

v1.19.2:This update is all about iOS11! Check out the new Files vApp which embraces the new iOS Files system. It's never been easier to get documents and files into your video.

v1.19.1:A brand new TouchCast Studio! Don't worry: it's the same app experience with a fresh look to match the TouchCast brand. And we think you'll love the new style. Back by popular demand: we've returned the Smart Pause (the backtrack feature returns to quickly record over a mistake).

Additionally for our Partners, you'll also notice these improvements:- TC Stock: free, unlimited access to 300k videos, images, and sound files -- all accessible from inside the app- Ability to render a touchcast video in high quality- Ability to live stream with multiple bitrates (better performance on low bandwidth networks)- Live stream viewer comments appear for the author inside Studio- Stricter privacy for users on shared iPads (you can no longer see another user's data)- Export a touchcast video as a zipped .tct file (with full interactivity!)

Feb 7, 2017

INTRODUCING THE WORLD'S FIRST (TRULY) INTERACTIVE VIDEO LIVE STREAM! For users with a TouchCast Partner ID, you can now live stream with Smart Video! That means full interactivity as you broadcast to thousands. Do all of the same things you do with TouchCast Studio but now stream your video as it happens. You can manage the privacy of your stream (public or private) and even moderate comments. Save your stream to edit or to simply make available on your channel for others to view later. We've put a lot of time into perfecting the system and can't wait for you to try it!

Available to all users: a NEW CROP TOOL with managing your green screen / chroma key. Now you can define the area where a presenter is positioned and the app knows to replace the background for everything that sits outside of this box. It makes using the green screen even easier to use, especially in poor lighting conditions.

Omits simple functions

Dec 31, 2017

PmQuigJr

I have a love-hate relationship with this app. It’s prompter feature is excellent. But they overlooked simple functions. For example, I tried The Import feature. It turned the video sideways. And I could not find a fix, despite several internet searches. Their “help” menu was NO help at all. Logically, there must be a simple fix. But finding that fix was no simple matter at all! (Still looking, BTW.)

Developer Response

Feb 22, 2018

This was a bug that was fixed in v1.19.6 where iOS11 screen capture video would get turned sideways. Please make sure you update TouchCast Studio to the latest and greatest!

Touch Cast App

Apr 14, 2014

TouchCast

Touch cast AppIn our US 1 history class we use the app touch cast for a civil war project. With our civil war project we use the news setting to make us look like we are on channel 4 for example. Touch cast worked half well and half not so well because it was hard to use I think the app should better instructions in how to use the app so it would be a lot easier for people who are using this app. For example when my group was working on this project we could not figure out what buttons to press in order to have different backgrounds and also the settings wise. What our group did enjoy about this app it is that it had many effects to it such as you can add different images or settings as a background image just by a green screen and also when you want to read a script you can look straight at the screen instead of looking down at your paper my group that it was pretty cool what kind of effects touch cast had. If I were to rate this app it would be a three starred app because in the way the app work like I said. To conclude the app touch cast needs to improve on making the instruction a lot easier for people who are new to this app and a final touch would be instead of using a green screen they should use a plain wall so it will be a lot easier instead of people finding or buying a green screen.

Fantastic App

Aug 7, 2013

ShockWave101010

TouchCast is perhaps one of the best apps in the app store. No I'm not using hyperbole. I am a videographer and editor. Let me just say, the tools included in this app are phenomenal. Tools such as; greenscreen, whiteboard/ telestrator, teleprompter work remarkably well yet are powerful features. Maybe I have an advantage because of prior training but, this app is intuitive and seems tailored for the ipad. Frankly I'm surprised in our age of digital media this isn't the most downloaded app in the app store. The ability to quickly yet powerfully tell a story and distribute with a degree of professionalism can't be understated. Granted it is an app and therefore in no way will replace Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, or any heavy duty video editing software but, if I want to quickly tell a story with nice not cheesy, if used modestly, effects and tools I would enthusiastically embrace the app. I would not be surprised if this app becomes one of the hottest very soon.
